RB: Ch 43:1-12 Tardiness at the Work of God or at Table
Mass: Song of Songs 3:1-4b or 2 Cor 5:14-17; Resp Ps 63; Jn 20:1-12, 11-18
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
It's a glorious day on this Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, "Apostle to the Apostles, witness to the
death of Jesus and first public witness to the risen Christ"! With those credentials she speaks with authority. It seems we should join dear Mary Magdalene and proclaim, "I have seen the Lord!" After all, "God is not far from any one of us. For 'In Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:27-28).

Why do people keep asking to see
God's identity papers
when the darkness opening into morning
is more than enough?
Certainly any god might turn away in disgust.
Think of Sheba approaching
the kingdom of Solomon.
Do you think she had to ask,
"Is this the place?"
SAINT MARY MAGDALENE,
PRAY FOR US.
